Cocolobo West End

... the waves. It was supposed to leave at 9:30 but didn't leave until around 10 am. Another example where American's would be *****ing.<br><br>Utila is amazing! It's the first place I've been where I feel really relaxed. So laid back. Many people speak English...even as their native language. I have my own room, shared bathroom, and have 10 days coming up in the next 5-6 days. I'm stoked. A regular dive tomorrow ...

... island to West End which is basically one sandy street along a gorgeous, picture perfect bay. We dropped off our bags at Valarie's Hostel, whose dorm reminds me of a treehouse, for the first night and set out to find a beer and some island lunch. Found a nice place by the water and had a grilled fish, rice, salad and fried plantain plate and Kalin had some rice and shrimp, along with a bottle of Salva Vida (Honduran beer) each, paradise found! <br><br>We spent the rest of the day ...

... we arrived at the port we immediately took our place in the line to buy our passage to the island. After a few minutes of waiting I started thinking about how much money may be necessary for our stay and how much I had on me. Suddenly it occurred to me that perhaps we don´t have enough money after all. I brought this up with Edward and we quickly started doing some rudimentary calculations. I had enough money for the boat journey to Utila and back again ...

Utila is one of three Bay Islands off the Caribbean coast of Honduras. It is a popular scuba diving destination due to its great reefs and affordable prices. So since I have always wanted to get certified I stayed for ten days to get both my PADI Open Water and Advanced diving certifications. It was well worth the price and now when I want to dive other places in the world there will be no courses to take ...

Shane has been sick with his own version of food poisoning for about 5 days. the other day we kayaked to the other side of the island through a small boat canal to ...

... og vind, men etter det var det go'vaer. Vi har dykket noen ganger. Verdens nest storste korallrev ligger her saa det er bra dykking. Saa mest fisk, noen store skilpadder og hummer. Ellers har vi snorklet med delfiner. De holder til paa et marint senter paa en strand. Det var veldig goy. De svomte rundt meg og lekte. Jeg ble jo helt gira. Delfiner er kule. En dag leide vi scooter og kjorte rundt paa oya. Kom til en veldig fin strand som ansees ...

We are alive and well and officially PADI certified Advanced Divers. It's amazing the changes in such a short amount of time. When we arrived at the shop the first day, we had forgotton how to put our gear together! Last week for our certification we dove deep to 107 feet, did sommersalts through hoops, sat suspended in mid water passing weights, gone in murky low viz waters of the SPOOOOKY channel, maneuvered through crevasses ...

... you really would need, but not everything you might want. For instance there is no pharmacy in West End. Even the market is really more of a mini mart. It may have spaghetti noodles but could easily be out of marinara sauce. It doesn't sell any produce, meat, or fish. For these items you buy what is fresh daily right off the pickup trucks, which may or may not be around. The little store has the standard soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and bug repellant. But if we ...

... scuba diving is that you NEVER hold your breath and Will said that if I hadn't been breathing out...he'd have punched me in the stomach to make me breath out! I wouldn't have liked his chances! Can you imagine that...me having a scrap with my dive instructor at 30 feet of water! Actually, I can imagine that, oh dear! I must stop fighting in weird places. I had a great Christmas and New Year with my homies (Stevo, Bine and Patrick). we exchanged present on ...
